• Extra Long Ball Mount for Launching Heavy Boat Trailer
  I spoke to my contact at Curt about the Curt Solid Steel 2" Hitch Bar part # D36 and they informed me that it does not have a weight rating because it is not in the finished form. The weight capacity will vary depending on the length and amount of gussets or reinforcements that are used. If you need something with an exact weight rating you may want to look at the Draw-Tite Ball Mount part # 4285 which has a 12" long shank (center of hitch pin hole to center of ball hole), comes with...

• Capacity of Curt Solid Steel D28 Hitch Bar
  According to Curt, the # D36 24 inch hitch bar has no listed capacity. Curt considers this a fabrication part, and there are too many possible variables that would affect the end capacity for Curt to list a capacity.

• Is there a Curt Solid Steel 2" Hitch Bar with Raw Finish in 30" Length?
  We do have some hitch bars but unfortunately, we do not have any stolid steel 2" hitch bars in a 30" length. The longest one we have is the # D36 you were looking at, which is a 24" length. We do have an Unfinished Receiver Tube # C49480 that is longer, but it is 48" so you would have to cut it down. I also included a link to our full selection of hitch fabrication parts for you to look for the best solution for your application.

• Hitch Mounted Attachment For Pulling Around An Ice Fishing Sled
  The Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR is a rather unique design and there is really nothing like it. It sounds like you might consider something like the Brophy Hitch Extender with Step # ST18 which has a 6-1/2" x 17" platform you might be able to attach to your ice sled. If you are looking for a more custom application we do have the 24" Shank # D36 which you can use to weld a custom attachment point.

  The EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7365 you were looking at for a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek does have a 2" square opening. The corners are rounded and not a sharp edge allowing you to use Class III 2" accessories and ball mounts. We do sell a 24" Hitch Bar # D36 which will fit inside the tube if you are trying to fabricate your own hitch mounted accessories.

• Can Reese RP45018 Titan Hitch Box Extension Install In 2 Inch Receiver Using
  The # RP45018 Titan Hitch Box is designed to install into a 2-1/2 receiver. It's conceivable that with the proper alteration, a solid 2 x 2 inch hitch bar like # D36 could be used which would allow the piece to install into a 2 inch hitch, but the product has not been tested for that use and the weight capacity would be completely unknown. Therefore, I couldn't advise using the # RP46018 for said purpose.

• Options to Carry a Bike Rack While Towing a Vehicle Behind an RV
  I may have another option available for your, there will not be a draw bar long enough to get the needed clearance. With that being said, you could add a hitch onto your towed vehicle that could then carry a bike rack, but currently we only have the Yakima HoldUp EVO Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches # Y02480 that is rated for use on a towed vehicle. The only other option will be to add a roof rack to the vehicle and then go with roof mounted bike racks as well. For example, if this...

• Compatibility of Bike Rack and 24 Inch Trailer Hitch Extension and Swagman Bike Rack
  We don't do any custom fabrication and that length would be too much torque for your trailer hitch with your bike rack bouncing and swaying. I can't recommend you install a bike rack on the end of an extension that length even on a custom build unless you were to use the TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension for SuperHitch Trailer Hitch Receivers - 24" Long # TLE1524 which will use dual hitch receivers and chains for stabilization. With that system you could use the Swagman E-Spec 2 Bike...
